Nigeria: Context & Problem-Opportunities FRUGS KA KATSI SINA Ci City-level S Study udy Problematizing ‘Sustainable’ Development: New Model(s) Needed The Global ‘North’ and ‘South’ both need a shift, to converge towards sustainable growth & consumption . SSA needs new models to drive transformative change towards the end goal of Sustainable Development. GLOBAL ‘NORTH’ ‘Developed World’ OVER -DEVELOPED Excess Consumption What Reduce Global Inequality ? How? “3L”* Growth? “Steady-State” Economy? Models “Enough for everyone, forever”** UNDER -DEVELOPED Lack of Basic Services GLOBAL ‘SOUTH’ * 3L Principle: “Long-life, Loose-fit, Low Energy”.

Methodological Approach FRUGS KA KATSI SINA Ci City-level S Study udy 1. Observational • Not prescriptive – Jane Jacobsian Approach • JJ transformed urban planning, as a non professional, by observing people’s use and behaviours in the city, “sidewalk ballet” • Nigerians are very capable at producing afford-able housing (however poorly built) Problems: Qualitative , not Quantitative Source: http://www.nesta.org.uk/ 2. Inclusive • Informality per se is not a barrier • Multi-national corporations business ecosystems span the entire economic spectrum from the capital markets to street-level traders & ‘informals’ (N100 recharge card sellers etc.) • Commercial ecosystems and value chains embrace & integrate all participants profitably Success = Inclusivity & Diversity Source: http://www.mtn-investor.com/
